Change attachments quickly with mechanical coupler
Quick Coupler System
Overview
Think of changing attachments as a system. With the quick connect auxiliary couplers and the manual quick coupler for attachments, changeover to the next attachment is quick with minimal downtime. When using hydraulic attachments, the auxiliary selector valve lets you quickly choose between attachment one-way and two-way flows.
Benefits
- John Deere augers can be equipped with numerous sizes of rock, heavy-duty, standard, and tree/shrub bits.
- Hydraulic hammers are perfect for quarry or trench work and concrete removal. Use them to break rock, concrete flatwork, and walls; around rebar; or to a precut line.
- The clamp, sometimes referred to as a thumb, can be used in conjunction with buckets. This aids in the removal of material if it is bulky and does not fit into the bucket completely.
Additional details
Wide variety of buckets and attachments
- Compact excavators use common buckets and attachments that customers who own other John Deere compact machines may already have in their fleets
Increase efficiency with standard backfill blade
Overview
Foldable backfill blade
Make a sizable impact on your productivity and profitability with the backfill blade. The backfill blade can be used to level and backfill trenches. It is the same width as the undercarriage width. The blade can add versatility by using the blade and bucket to clamp and carry pipe, rocks, or other bulky items.
Benefits
- Backfill blade adds versatility, enabling these compact excavators to grade and fill.
- Provides extra stability with attachments or when working on uneven terrain.
- The blade can be manually retracted to navigate narrow pathways and tight quarters.

Ground level daily service with extended maintenance intervals
Overview
Service access
Extended maintenance intervals enable the machine to remain working for longer periods of productive work before the need to service. This greatly increases uptime and productivity of the unit. Hinged door provides wide-open access to the side-by-side oil cooler, radiator, as well as battery. Cooler design resists trash buildup and allows easier core cleanout. Access is quick and convenient.
Benefits
- Extended oil change and greasing intervals contribute to low daily operating costs.
- Oil impregnated front joint bushings allow the unit to extend grease intervals. Not only does it increase the time between greasing of the unit, this greatly reduces the chances of a problem occurring due to improper maintenance causing downtime to the operation.
- The additional service door allows the operator and technician better access to components during daily service checks and routine maintenance for improved uptime.
- Parts and service are available at over 1,400 John Deere dealers throughout North America.
- Wet-disc swing brake provides long-term maintenance-free performance.
- No aftertreatment devices needed reducing maintenance and expense.
Additional details
Track Sag Adjustment
- A track adjuster is located in each track frame and can be adjusted using a standard high pressure grease gun.
Navigate narrow pathways and tight quarters with expandable undercarriage
Overview
Expandable undercarriage
The standard variable-width undercarriage can be hydraulically retracted to navigate narrow pathways and tight quarters, then easily repositioned for solid stability, to work where handwork used to be required. The X-frame undercarriage is similar to that of larger excavators and it is designed to shed dirt and debris from the track frames.
Benefits
- Proven undercarriage frame
- Improved tie-downs on blade and undercarriage
Additional details
Track Sag Adjustment
- A track adjuster is located in each track frame and can be adjusted using a standard high pressure grease gun.
Tie down location 1
Tie down location 2
Tie down location 3
- Tie downs are provided so loading and transporting of the machine can be done quickly.
- All models have a rear tie down on the rear of the X-frame
Rubber tracks are standard equipment.
